I haven’t written any posts in a while, partly because I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with this blog. Sometimes it feels too difficult to make posts that people will care about reading. While finding my way in the blogging world, I did conclude that adventure poems are probably not the way to go, at least for this blog. Instead, I think I’ll try focusing primarily on more religious things. I guess we’ll see.
I have thought this evening about a passage from Amos 3:7:
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
I have heard mainly two interpretations of this verse. One of them is that the Lord will always speak through a prophet if He is going to do anything among us. That is what I believe Amos was saying.
God does speak through His prophets. And He has only left His children without a prophet during times of great wickedness, when the majority of the people apostatize from the right way and reject Him. Peter reminded us, in Acts 10:43:
To him [Christ] give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
How grateful I am to live in a day when there are prophets on the earth. Many people don’t believe there is a prophet through whom the Lord speaks today, but I do. His name is Thomas S. Monson.
At a conference two months ago, he said:
I bear my testimony to you that this work is true, that our Savior lives, and that He guides and directs His Church here upon the earth. I leave with you my witness and my testimony that God our Eternal Father lives and loves us. He is indeed our Father, and He is personal and real.
